Case Study: Vital Farms achieves data-driven demand planning and improved customer service with Accelytics and Anaplan

Vital Farms cuts forecast snapshot time from 3 days to half a day with Accelytics

Vital Farms, a high-end CPG manufacturer, faced challenges with its manual, Excel-based demand planning process. This led to inaccurate forecasts, inventory problems, and an inability to properly negotiate with its network of farming suppliers. They partnered with Accelytics to find a solution using the Anaplan platform.

Accelytics implemented a customized Anaplan demand planning solution that created a statistical forecast enriched with business intelligence. This provided Vital Farms with deep insights at the item and customer level. The measurable impact was significant; a process that once took three days was reduced to half a day, enabling a formal S&OP process and improved customer service levels.
